The projects shown on this map have been identified by indicative business cases and will require further
technical investigation before their final details, locations or land requirements are confirmed.
The growth
of southern Auckland MAY 2020
The southern area of Auckland is growing fast.
Around 190,000 people live here now, but over the next 30 years, an additional
120,000 people are expected to live in future communities in Takaanini, Opāheke,
Drury, Paerata and Pukekohe. A good transport system will be needed for
these areas.
Transport networks play a vital role in successful cities, taking people to the places where they
live, work and play.
In July 2019, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport It includes:
Agency and Auckland Transport confirmed

neighbourhoods.
This network will give people safe, accessible and sustainable travel choices that connect their
communities and encourage a significant shift to public transport, walking and cycling. Once we
have protected the land required for these projects, property owners can continue to use, own,
buy or sell their land for many years to come and right up until Auckland Transport and Waka
Kotahi NZ Transport Agency need the land for construction. Ongoing communication between
parties during this time is important for everyone.

The journey to route protection
Route protection is a key focus of the programme, to help ensure the land needed
for building and operating future transport routes is protected ahead of construction.
Most of the transport projects shown in the following information will be protected
through a designation process. Route protection provides property owners,
businesses and the community with certainty on where transport routes will be in
the future. Route protection also helps build safety and resilience into Auckland’s
transport system.

The growth of southern Auckland MAY 2020 We’d like your feedback Since the release of the Indicative Strategic Transport Network in July 2019 and public engagement on projects in Drury in December 2019, we now have preferred options for a range of other projects in southern Auckland and we’d like your feedback on these. Have your say We want to hear your feedback on our preferred options for the south. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport are seeking community feedback on a range of preferred options for public transport, rail upgrades and road improvements including local roads and state highways. Next steps Landowner and community feedback will help to refine our preferred options. We will also carry out further technical investigations and continue landowner engagement before we progress to route protection. We will give the community regular updates as we progress. We’d like to know your thoughts. Visit supportinggrowth.govt.nz to tell us what you think.
The growth of southern Auckland MAY 2020 What these connections could look like Future communities need well designed transport. We’re planning now to help create vibrant communities that give Aucklanders lots of travel options to choose from. Safer, more efficient local roads and state highways, new public transport services, rail upgrades and new walking and cycling paths will help people choose new ways to move around. Multi-lane corridors Well connected communities enjoy lots of transport options. Multi-lane corridors have separate lanes with different types of transport including general vehicles, public transport and walking and cycling. This allows residents and visitors to walk, ride bikes, scooter, or take the bus or train to go to work, connect with family and friends and two lane arterial move around their community. Mill Road is an example of a four-lane corridor that will provide opportunities to manage general traffic, prioritise public bus services and create new separated walking and cycling paths. four lane arterial Multi-lane corridors We’re proposing safe, separated walking and cycling paths along new and upgraded four-lane roads. These will generally follow along rail corridors to connect current and new communities to train stations, town centres and green spaces. These paths will connect with existing walking and cycling paths in urban areas and to new cycleways being developed by Auckland Council and local developers.
The growth of southern Auckland MAY 2020 What these connections could look like Rail Extending the electrified rail network from Papakura to Pukekohe will mean passengers will no longer have to change trains at Papakura to travel south to Pukekohe. New train stations at Drury Central, Drury West and Paerata as well as bus connections will make it easier for residents to travel by public transport. We also need to plan for future growth in both passenger and freight services and look at where additional land may need to be protected to allow for additional rail tracks in this area.
